City of Winnipeg.
Having lost his Wrath Legion, the Archduke of Wrath, Satan, began to gather nearby monsters and dimaen. The monsters and dimaen that answered his call flocked to him, hungry for power, eager to rise through the ranks and become more powerful.
Satan temporarily contracted with the ten strongest of the dimaen, granting them the power of a higher demon. It was now up to them to prove themselves worthy of becoming high-ranking, even noble-class demons. Their rank would be determined by how much demonic power they could absorb and make their own.
【Kilkilkilkil. You really got hit hard, Satan. 】
【What a nuisance. 】
【How about lending me some of the demons under you? 】
At the words of the archduke demon of Pride, Lucifer, Satan frowned, but there was nothing he could do.
【Kilkilkilkil, but don’t worry too much. Since all the demons under you have been wiped out, reinforcements will come eventually.】
【It will take another 10 years in this world’s time, considering how long it takes to replenish soul energy.】
【Or maybe there’s no choice but to absorb the souls of this world. But. . . Looking at you, it seems like that will be difficult, doesn’t it? 】
【. . . . . . 】
Lucifer’s blatant provocation made Satan unable to contain his anger any longer, and he raised his demonic power. Then Lucifer’s body shook and seemed to disappear.
【Calm down, Imma. You still have about 30,000 troops in the Chaos World. You should call them, right? Is there a way to do it?
As Lucifer said, there were 30,000 additional troops remaining. However, only three of them were noble-class demons, and all three were barons. The other 30,000 troops were mostly made up of lower- and lower-level demons, so they were not of much help.
Still, they were much stronger than the dimaen or monsters gathered here, so it was better to have them than not. Only. . . . . .
【Lower-level demons can have their souls shattered when they are banished, so I’m thinking about it. 】
【Ah! Come to think of it, I heard that Baalzebub of Gluttony and Invidia of Envy came up after the news of your defeat spread? 】
【. . . . . . 】
【Envy should be about a month later. Well, most of the legions have already moved to the dungeon, but the two of them and the noble-class demons haven’t come over yet. 】
Listening to the words of the archduke demon of Pride Lucifer, Satan knew that he had to prepare quickly as well. He had to bring more monsters and dimaen under his command before they came up.
The many years of conquering this continent had provided him with many demons and dimaens but there were limits to them, of course. At the very least, he would need to have an army of at least corps level to match the legions.
Satan didn’t have much time.

Minneapolis, the frontline for mankind.
The Sun Mercenary Group had finally collapsed, and most of those who had been under the control of the mercenary city-state had fled to the Kingdom of Britannia or the Principality of Paranos, making Minneapolis the new front line for humanity.
” It’s been a while, Leto-nim. ”
“Yes, it has. ”
Oswald, as the commander of the expeditionary force, greeted the representative of the Order, Leto Zagreaus, who had come to support them this time.

‘𝘈𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨.’
Leto Zagreaus, as seen through the Eyes of Truth, was a monster. And behind him were two people in unusual outfits. One was wearing blue dragon scale armor, and the other was a woman in an outfit reminiscent of ancient Spartan armor.
“But who are the people behind you?”
As he said this, Oswald discreetly scanned the two of them with the Eyes of Truth.

As Oswald had guessed, Leto introduced the two champions.
“They are Neptune’s Champion and Minerva’s Champion.”
At the neat and concise introduction, Hippolyte, the Champion of Minerva, stepped forward with a slight nod.
“Is that all you have to say? Leto. . . . . . Nice to meet you, I’m Hippolyte Arenia.”
“Agenor Baruna.”
Oswald then guided the Order’s personnel to the garrison where they would be staying. Oswald had already received communication from the supply officer, Natasha, and had arranged for the garrison where they would be staying with the cooperation of the mayor of Minneapolis.
“So what’s the plan for the advance?”
” Well, the plan was to march as soon as the support of the Holy Church arrived. Moreover, with such a formidable flying magic battleship now present, do we even need a strategy? ”
As Oswald said, it was best to just push through with force.
“Besides, according to the intelligence unit, the Archduke of Wrath is gathering monsters and dimaen, so the longer we delay, the more of them we may have to deal with. So it’s better to go up and finish it quickly.”
After that, Oswald selected Ornstein, Gilgamesh, Leto, Hippolyte, and Agenor as a dream team to deal with the Archduke of Wrath. These five would be able to hunt down the Archduke of Wrath.
Of course, Oswald planned to play a role in command and support from the rear. As the commander of the expeditionary force, he could not avoid commanding the troops. For that purpose, Oswald boarded an aircraft carrier that was easy to command from.
“It is an honor to meet you. I’m Captain Arthur von Douglas of the Athens.”
